The Guardian Legend – Stopping the God of Sin

Nintendo games are often a guide to greater truth

The New Testament teaches us the God is not the source of sin (James 1:13). This is a little weird because sin exists and God made everything, right? Well, sorta. God made the angels and they were free to make their own choices. They could love God or hate Him. They could choose to sin (2 Peter 2:4). There was even a war in heaven where the sin angels and righteous angels fought (Revelation 12). The losers were cast into hell (2 Peter 2:4). The leader of the sin angels was the greatest among God’s children: Satan, the Dragon, Lucifer, and the Morning Star. He is also known as the God of This World (John 14:30 & 2 Corinthians 4:4). Jesus himself was good enough to warn us that the God of Sin was coming (John 14:30). 



The Fall of the Rebel Angels - Pieter Brueghel the Elder - 1562

  This is all very gloomy. However, I learned hope by playing The Guardian Legend on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

In The Guardian Legend, a large planet-like object named Naju was hurtling toward Earth. It was full of all sorts of powerful creatures that I can only assume were fallen angels, physically distorted by their dedication to sin. "Naju" MUST be how angels say "hell," and is where all the sin angels were sent after they lost the War in Heaven.  

Fortunately for the people on Earth, an earlier attempt to stop Naju left it equiped with a self-destruct sequence that had the potential to keep the God of Sin from reaching our planet.

Additionally, Earth was fortunate to have a sexy lady that was part machine and could transform into a spaceship. Her name was “the Guardian.”

After lots of wandering through Naju trying to increase her battle power, and ten flying sequences, the Guardian finally arrived at the core, where she was able to confront to God of Sin.

It was a tough fight, especially because the God of Sin’s hands did an unbelievable amount of damage when they hit the poor little Guardian. Fortunately for those of us on Earth, she was successful and was able to activate the self-destruct system.

Moral: Always make sure you have a sexy, part-human transformer that can fly through space on your side.
